Needham & Company reiterates a 'Buy' on II-VI, Inc. (NASDAQ: IIVI) price target of $26.00.

Needham analyst said, "FQ2 results were in line with the update mgmt provided in mid-December. Bookings fell 13% y/o/y (0.92 B-T-B), as orders declined across IIVI’s four business units. However, management’s cautiously optimistic tone about a stronger 2H demand, including an expected pickup in orders in both the military and commercial markets, and reaffirmation of its full-year guidance, suggests that business bottomed in the Dec. quarter. IIVI shares, which are up 24% Y/T/D, remain attractive, in our view, trading at 15x our out-year EPS estimate, adjusting for net cash."

"We are shaving our F2H EPS est. $0.03, with our full-year EPS estimate maintained at $1.08. We are maintaining our F13 EPS estimate at $1.40 on revenues of $618M."
